Type “/sup” for options, or browse to the ShieldsUp panel in the standard Interface Options window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn’t ShieldsUp monitoring my Earth Shield?

A: ShieldsUp only monitors Earth Shield when it’s cast on yourself, or on a player or pet in your party or raid group. There is no way for addons to reliably monitor buffs cast on units who are not in your group, so ShieldsUp doesn’t try.

Q: Why am I only seeing one charge counter?

A: ShieldsUp switches to a single-counter display when you are solo, or if you don’t have the Earth Shield talent, since in either situation it’s only possible for you to have one shield active on a target ShieldsUp can monitor.

Version 4.1.0.119

Added an option for moving the Earth Shield target name to the bottom of the display, or hiding it. It’s not exposed in the options panel yet, but you can change it by typing “ /run ShieldsUpDB.namePosition = "BOTTOM"; ShieldsUp:ApplySettings() ”. The value can be "BOTTOM", "TOP", or "NONE".

Interesting. Only one of those should be visible at a time while you're solo. Does it happen when you log in solo, after you leave a group, or both? Which settings (if any) have you changed from the defaults?

Hello I have a problem using ShieldsUp while soloing. The number for earth shield and the W for water shield overlap. I have version 5.4.7.173 installed. This only happens while I am not in a party, but I would still like to fix it. I tried disabling all other addons but the problem persists.

I think the last time I was in a battleground, Arathi Basin was the new hotness. If you re-cast Water Shield after entering the BG, does it show up? Did you switch specs at any time between logging in and joining the BG? Is Water Shield displayed on the correct side when you log in, before you enter the BG?

Ok, i ll try to cover all the situation here.

* No specc switch has been made. This happens when i enter the game and immediately queue for BG. After the BG loading screen, the addon display gets messed up.

* No fix can be seen when i spam either ES or WS.

...BUT...

A while ago i logged into the game and entered random BG (iotc). While i had no problems in Stormwind, when i entered the BG it went like this...

After spamming ES on various players and WS on me, on me nothing happened. Even with WS on me, it seems that WS indicator goes right side and gets stuck to 0 (should be left side), and ES comes very close to the other indicator but is on the left instead of right. The gates open.. we run for docks.. and all of a sudden.. this happens :

I hope this screenshot helps.
Earthshield should be on Homli (displayed)
Watershield is on me (NOT displayed. Instead i see a red 0 almost stuck on the right side of ES counter. Watershield should have been on left side anyway)

For some reason.. this happens when i enter the BGs.. and seems to randomly gets fixed after a while.. Note that it doesnt get fixed when i /console reloadui
